Chapter 17 Mental breakdown
When Lu Qing and Xiaoyan appeared at the fishing spot.
The villagers who were still fishing there were all stunned when they saw the fish on Lu Qing's back.
"Lu, Lu Qing, what are you carrying on your back?" a villager asked stutteringly.
"Fish." Lu Qing took a breath and replied.
He really felt a little tired.
His body had not fully recovered to begin with, and he had been fighting with the green turtle and the red moon carp for so long.
It’s really hard for me to walk with so many things on my back.
However, his answer made the villagers a little overwhelmed.
Nonsense, of course they knew there was a fish on his back!
The question is, where did he catch such a big fish!
The villagers felt a little dizzy when they saw the huge fish on Lu Qing's back, which was half his height and whose tail was dragging on the ground.
My God, this is the first time they have seen such a big fish!
However, some villagers noticed Lu Qing’s current predicament and hurried forward to help him untie the fish.
"Come on, come on, let me carry it for you. You just got well again not long ago. Don't let yourself get tired again later."
Lu Qing didn't refuse either.
He was indeed a little exhausted. He thought he could carry the fish back home, but it seemed he had overestimated his physical strength.
"Thank you, Brother An."
Lu Qing put the fish down and took a breath.
"Hey, you're welcome. This is the first time I've seen such a big fish. It's a blessing to be able to touch it. No, there's another one in this bucket. This fish is so beautiful!"
Villager Wang Da'an was feeling happy, but when he looked down, he screamed again.
When the other villagers heard this, they could no longer hold back and immediately gathered around and looked into the barrel.
"Really? There's a big fish in the bucket!"
"What kind of fish is this? It's fiery red, I've never seen one before!"
"This fish is so beautiful. I'm sure the lords in the city will like it."
"Good fellow, Lu Qing, how did you catch two big fish at once?"
When the last question came out, everyone looked at Lu Qing.
"I fished in the same way as you guys." Lu Qing reached out and took the fishing rod from Xiaoyan's shoulder. "I just picked a spot in the river ahead. I didn't expect to catch two big fish. It was also luck."
"Then where did you fish?" a villager asked with a glance.
As soon as these words came out, several other villagers looked at him with some contempt.
His intentions are too obvious. He doesn't even bother to hide it and is bullying a child.
After the villager asked, he also felt something was wrong and quickly laughed, "I'm just curious. Don't tell me you're not curious."
Of course Lu Qing could understand what the villager meant, but he didn't care much.
Anyway, even if he didn't say it, they would definitely go searching for it then.
The traces of the fishing spots he opened could not be concealed.
So he said directly: "It's not far ahead, but I advise you not to go over there now."
"Why?" the villager blurted out.
"Because the place has been deserted for a long time. Now there are no big fish, not even small fish. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come back so soon." Lu Qing said half-truthfully.
When the other villagers heard this, they all thought it made sense.
Lu Qinglian caught two big fish, especially the one on the ground, which was incredibly big.
Such a big fish must make quite a noise when you fish for it, it would be strange if the other fish didn’t run away.
However, even so, there are still some villagers who are hoping for a lucky break.
For example, the villager who asked about Lu Qing's fishing spot made up his mind to go over quietly and see where Lu Qing was fishing.
Lu Qing doesn't care what these villagers think.
Anyway, he has already said it, and there is nothing he can do if others don't believe him and insist on going there to fish.
And even if someone really went there to fish, he wouldn't care.
He doesn't care about the small fish, but as for the big fish...
It’s not that he looked down on these villagers, but with their skills, it’s impossible for them to catch big fish.
Even if a big fish was lucky enough to take the bait, their fragile hemp fishing line would not be able to withstand the terrifying impact of the big fish.
After resting for a while, Lu Qing felt that his strength had recovered a little.
"Everyone, Xiaoyan and I are going back, you guys continue fishing."
After saying that, he prepared to pick up the green turtle.
Wang Daan took one look and quickly bent down to pick up the fish: "Didn't you say I should do it? Lu Qing, you just need to carry the bucket. Oh my god, this fish is so heavy, it must be nearly 20 kilograms!"
Only when Wang Da'an actually picked up the green turtle did he discover that this big fish was even heavier than he had expected.
He couldn't help but look at Lu Qing. It was really hard to imagine how Lu Qing, with his small body, could catch such a big fish.
"Thank you, Brother Daan. I'll treat you to fish when we get back!"
Lu Qing did not refuse. He was very happy to have someone help him.
"That's great! I've never eaten such a big fish in my life!" Wang Da'an immediately became happy.
Watching Lu Qing and the other two walking towards the village, the remaining villagers looked at each other.
Suddenly, a villager shouted, "What the hell are you still fishing for! Go back to the village and watch the fun!"
"That's right. I waited all morning and only caught a few small fish. I might as well go back and watch how Lu Qing kills the fish!"
"I haven't seen enough of those two big fish just now. I have to go back and take a few more looks."
…
If the villagers still have the patience to continue staying here before Lu Qing comes back.
Now, watching Lu Qing leave with two big fish, everyone couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
I've been guarding here for two or three days, but the result is not even a fraction of what others got in two hours. How can this be justified?
It’s better not to catch this fish!
With their minds broken, the villagers packed up their things and prepared to return to the village.
Lu Qing and the others had just left not long ago. If I run faster, maybe I could catch up with them.
"Old Zhao, aren't you going back?"
Everyone was packing up, but there was one person who remained unmoved and continued to sit there fishing.
When others saw this, they asked.
"You guys go back first. I'll fish for a while. Maybe there will be fish soon."
When Lu Qing was asked about his fishing spot, the villager, who was called Lao Zhao, just smiled innocently.
"Okay, then you can continue fishing. If I were to ask you, I've been fishing here for several days and all the fish have been caught long ago. Didn't you dislike this place before you saw Lu Qing?"
If it is said that before, everyone did not take Lu Qing's fishing skills seriously, they thought that he was able to catch so many small fish because of the secret recipe of using earthworms as bait.
But after seeing the two big fish just now, no one dared to underestimate Lu Qing's fishing skills.
If it were them, they would definitely not be able to catch a fish that big.
It’s not like many people have tried to be bitten by big fish in recent days, but in the end, they all came back empty-handed.
Either the fishing line broke or the rod exploded, and no one was able to pull up the big fish.
After packing up their things, everyone left one after another.
Only Lao Zhao was left, continuing to fish calmly.
After a while, after making sure that no one could see him, Lao Zhao suddenly jumped up.
Packing things in a hurry.
"You are a bunch of idiots. You just believe whatever Lu Qing says. I don't believe that he really caught all the fish there!"
After saying that, he picked up his things and ran in the direction where Lu Qing and Xiaoyan came from.
